WVSPORTS.COM Legacy DL Thornton commits to WVU

Stills and now Thornton. Now we need another Canute Curtis and we’ll be set lol
 
Are we going to sign anyone on the 7th? I know we have a few slots open and we may wait to see what happens with JUCOs and transfers...but wondered if any HSers would sign, will we be part of the "drama"?

[College football’s National Signing Day is Feb. 7. It’s going to be different this year than ever before, because most incoming freshmen have already signed. This was the first year for the Early Signing Period, which lasted from Dec. 20-22.

So less than a quarter of the 2018 class will sign on signing day.
About a quarter of four- and five-star recruits remain unsigned, meaning there will be drama, if less than usual.

Most teams have already signed more than two-thirds of their classes. You can expect to see most Power 5 programs getting commitments from between one and five more players. A few programs have committed players who didn’t sign during the ESP, but coaches tend not to consider those players as serious commits.

Arizona State has just 11 signees and no other verbal commitments — fewer than anyone else in major college football. The Sun Devils went through a coaching change and hired Herm Edwards, who seems astonished by the realities of modern recruiting. But most classes will finish with about 25 players in them, with around 20 of them signed before signing day. This is all a whole new world for college football]
